Exactly what i was going to say. Tmac had the injuries and countless times of failing where it takes its toll and also close family members dying nearly every season of his. This is just a healthy prime Harden straight up not giving a damn. He's all about the lifestyle and glamour. Don't blame it on Kardashian's, this who Harden always was inside. He is who he is. Of course it's still better than having some team with no stars..or maybe not because at least those bad teams are going to have a shot at Ben Simmons. Unfortunately our big man is not mentally tough either it seems. I think he'd rather be a mascot at this point of his career. We have 2 tmac like stars on our team. We have to ride with these guys, they are still our best hope so i'd rather see what a great coach can do for them both in terms of mental preparation.
its the coach rock adleman would win a title with this team, this with a healthy dmo is more talented than the 2002 kings
Count me as someone who always preferred TMac over Harden. I wish Tmac had half the talent that Harden's team's have had his whole career. They are both mentally weak though.
That Toronto game should not be brushed away. Harden is a p***y, but what Mac did was despicable. He blatantly quit on the team. Stood at half court. I don't care now, I like Mac regardless, but let's not forget why he was hated for a while here.
You underestimate the beautiful ball movement those Kings had. Webber and Vlade are two of the best passing big men ever. Imagine Dwight doing his mechanical and stiff moves and then throwing a lazy, soft pass for a turnover. Those Kings may have had less individual talent, but i think they'd kick our ass in a 7 game series.
He's the one who needled Adelman to come back before he was 100%. And then he got surgery without telling anyone.
compare that ball movement with what we do, who on that kings team could check playoff dwight, and playoff harden with ALDEMAN COACHING... think bro its the coaching tmac had no excuses, he played for great coaches in the nba, harden has never played for a great coach in the NBA. which is sad
he also led the rockets to lots of lottery appearences... mchale was on the verge of doing that too, until we got GUESS WHO... YOU GUESSED IT JAMES HARDEN
give adleman this team, and we are right there with the warriors... and allow him to coach, no fking moreyball
Everyone wanting to have a catchy thread berating Harden or another, please get a life. This isnt thread worthy, beaten to death in the countless other topics.
goes back to coaching, how would shemac do going againist all-nba defenders like klay thompson, draymon green, and andre iguodala basically rotating and wearing you down over 5 games... tmac wouldnt have got us past the mavs
Vlade would frustrate Dwight with his flops. Dwight gets called for the most petty fouls, Vlade would totally get in his head. Dough Christie would probably succeed in defending Harden. TMac has no excuses? Haha...I want you to make a list of 50 of the best players who he ever played with(along with age), make the same list for Harden. Yeah...no excuses. Adelman did nothing in Minnesota. Sure they had injuries every year, but he's just too old now. The game left him behind as it usually happens with every old coach.
